Description
Come build the backend that powers our mentorship-focused products, writing Rust that holds up under serious load. Bring the small-but-mighty energy and 1 years; Blackstone brings $51,000 - $80,000, a Stillwater base, and room to grow into more.
Key Responsibilities
- Document the Rust system so the next junior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
- Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging MongoDB and MySQL
- Build the Vue.js tooling that makes every other Stillwater engineer faster
- Lead the gRPC migration that finally retires Blackstone's client-focused legacy stack
- Read the GitHub Actions stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
- Break large technology initiatives into Rust increments Stillwater can actually deliver
- Untangle the MongoDB dependency knots that have slowed Stillwater releases for months
What You'll Bring
- Demonstrated knack for making the make-it-better feel manageable
- Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
- The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
- Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
- The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
- Familiarity with the rhythms of an outcome-focused freelance team
